MediaWiki installation with SQLite crashes when sharing tables
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have multilanguage Wiki (tried 1.27.4 LTS, 1.29.2, last snapshot 1.29) where each language has DB file "en.sqlite", "fr.sqlite", etc. I want to share (safe) tables and they will reside in "en" DB file.
I set parameter $wgSharedDB = "en";. But I keep getting error:
Original exception: [375c9086ffee3a81b773c183] /wiki-en/index.php Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1075 of C:\Dev\Web\MediaWiki\includes\libs\rdbms\database\Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

- Trying to use
$wgSharedDBwith sqlite means you'll probably run into problems. It looks like the syntax is trying to join across DBs using MySQL syntax. - There may be a way to make it work. If you want to try, you should file a task in Phabricator.
- I would try MySQL, though, if you really need to use
$wgSharedDB. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:38, 2 December 2017 (UTC) - Thanks, I understood it the same way. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to use MySQL and MariaDB in our company environment. I'll file a task in Phabricator. Czech.Fox (talk) 08:28, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

- Hi Lorenzo,
- how are you installing MediaWiki?
- If you used Composer, maybe you still have to run composer update before you can run update.php. That would be what happened in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166738. 2003:CC:ABC7:3B00:44E5:5972:CE6:17B (talk) 18:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- If you installed via the tarball, it probably means that you still have the old folder of your vendor directory. Try and re-install, making sure to extract mediawiki in an empty directory. Bawolff (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your answers.
- I am installing using the tarball and I have updated composer before running update.php. Everything works fine if I upgrade from 1.27.1 to 1.27.4, so there are some issues with 1.29.2 only.
- @User:Bawolff the directory seems fine to me. Loman87 (talk) 08:57, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Did you extract mediawiki in an empty directory (instead of extracting it over the old 1.27 files)? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I made the extraction using tar -xvzf mediawiki-1.29.2.tar.gz, then I have renamed the folder mediawiki-1.29.2 to mediawiki, that is my root folder. So I did not extract the new folder into the old one. Loman87 (talk) 11:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- You said you "updated composer" before running upgrade.php. Do you mean you ran
composer update --no-devor something else?. Normally you don't need to update composer if you are installing via a tarball (However, normally it wouldn't hurt anything either). Are the composer files (composer.json, composer.lock and composer.local.json) directly from the tarball or have they been modified in any way? Bawolff (talk) 16:15, 4 December 2017 (UTC) - Hi, I guess the problem was related to composer.json. Initially, I used the old one from my 1.27.1 installation; then I manually updated that one in the 1.27.4 tarball and everything works fine. Now I have another problem with upload wizard, but I will post it in another thread.
- Thanks for your help! Loman87 (talk) 11:12, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Mediawiki does not auto redirect to target page anymore?
So after upgrade to MW 1.29, all the redirect page failed.
Where PAGE_A #REDIRECT [[PAGE_B]] will not automatically open page B when visiting url of page A. Users have to click the link in page. Change $wgMaxRedirects value does not help.
Is this a bug or a new feature meant to be in MW1.29? Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 00:20, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- If you visit $wg here you'll be redirected and it uses the syntax you have. Something else must be going on. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 00:28, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
Users require confirmation

Hello,
I need to set up OAuth consumers for some bot accounts that I manage:
However when I log in as one of these accounts and try to propose a consumer, I receive the message:
You do not have permission to propose new OAuth consumers, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Confirmed users.
Is it possible for an administrator to confirm these users so that I can propose the OAuth consumers, please? Thanks. Smith609 (talk) 13:19, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- I've set them as bots and confirmed here. I don't think that affects other wikis, though. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 17:18, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- Many thanks for that. I forgot to add User:Citation bot test to the list, if you wouldn't mind confirming that one too. This'll let me get the tokens that I need to use the bots on en Wikipedia, I believe. Smith609 (talk) 17:34, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- In fact, I've just visited Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose as User:Citation bot 4, and still receive the same error message. Any idea what may be causing this? Could the distinction between meta.wikimedia.org and www.wikimedia.org have any relevance? Smith609 (talk) 17:36, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- I think you'd have to get the bots confirmed on meta, not here. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

- Did you get solution? Stuck in the same place; exact error! Ravikiran prao (talk) 11:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- The same answer: Your web server does not properly interpret the PHP code, may misconfigured. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 07:07, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed, so I had to do issue the following commands on a Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo a2dismod mpm_event sudo apachectl graceful sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork sudo a2enmod php7.2 sudo apachectl graceful
- Basically this adds the ability for the Apache webserver to handle PHP. [[kgh]] (talk) 12:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- You should not properly set PHP environment. or, you use file:// to access files on the file system. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- This happens when .php files are not parsed by the PHP interpreter. Your system needs to be configured so that PHP is actually parsing .php files! 2003:CC:ABD4:C200:985C:A531:126C:B1D6 (talk) 18:12, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Yesterday I activated the Inputbox extension. Today I can't log in into my account:
"There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."
I tried deactivating the extension, by deleting "wfLoadExtension( 'InputBox' );" from localsetting.php, but that gave me this error:

Is it necessary to have server access to create a wiki farm, or it can be made using a hosting service? 190.140.177.198 (talk) 21:37, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Back to top
Hi. I'd like to add a back to top button like the one from this wiki: https://www.sorumu.com/S%C3%B6zl%C3%BCk:Anasayfa
I've seen they've used the exact same example from here: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_scroll_to_top.asp
I added what needed to be added to common.css and common.js, but I am not exactly sure where and how to add the HTML element. I have read this article and then added the HTML element inside common.js, as seen here under 'back to top': http://dragon-mania-legends-wiki.mobga.me/MediaWiki:Common.js
Would anyone please shed a little bit of light as to where I am going wrong? │Star-Warden│ 23:00, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

- Those topics only offer a back to top next to the headers. But I need a button that floats exactly like the one from the wiki I linked in my first reply.

Protection levels

Hi, I have two questions:
- Is it possible to protect a page with a level beyond sysop. For example, instead of edit for sysops, edit for bureaucrats. If so, how?
- I've seen that some wikis have something called checkuser-limited that allows to check only our own IPs. I'd like to know how to enable it.
Thank you. 190.140.177.198 (talk) 16:02, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- For your first query, yes it is possible, see Manual:$wgRestrictionLevels.
- Regarding "checkuser-limited", can't say for sure but judging from its presence on MythTV Official Wiki and Wikifashion, it was probably a feature for an older version of Extension:CheckUser (v2.3), which has now been removed. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 00:43, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
After seeing this bizarre page, insisting my PORTAIT PAINTER grandfather was a 'music teacher and had his own music school in Manhattan"... my mother and I created a proper page, which Wikipedia rejected..since there is already a page on him.
Fine, I thought...I will just add the information and clean up his page (along with adding multiple citations proving the facts, etc.). Anyway, the wiper-bot must think I am some dodgy fake news person or another bot since it wiped the whole thing and now, he's a music teacher again?! Please help. Who do I contact?
When WIkiipedia started, I had added a page on my father and it was super easy...now...hmmm.
Is this code in any sort of Content Language I can learn? Is this VRA?

- The article in question is Jean Theslöf.
- This forum is primarily for technical help with the software on which Wikipedia runs, for informal help related to editing at Wikipedia, a better platform is the Wikipedia:Teahouse,
- To see which Wikipedia user reverted your edits, you can take a look at your article in question's history, i.e. this page. The users who reverted your edits are User:Kleuske (talk) and User:Lugnuts (talk). You can ask your questions at their linked talk pages.
- Your first main edit was reverted by User:Kleuske because of lack of citations as is mentioned on your talk page. Your second main edit was reverted probably due to the citations not being in the proper format.
- For new editors, it might be easier to use the VisualEditor for making edits. This link will open up the VisualEditor for your article. For citation, using the "Cite" tab on the VisualEditor makes the work easy. For further help on citations through VisualEditor see, Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Citations.
- If you need it, your previous "deleted" work is available here.
- For further editing help, it will be more efficient to make your queries at Wikipedia:Teahouse. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 02:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you - I provided citations with <ref> opening and closing each but I also got a weird response from a 'bot'
- I will contact the other content editors. Out of curiosity, what is the content standard used on Wikipedia?
- Thank you. 160.39.241.164 (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Special:Linksearch is case sensitive?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Help:Linksearch says "Linksearch is case-sensitive". On Wikipedia I used Linksearch to do an export of the links to *.dailymail.co.uk to a text file. While writing up a post summarizing the results I saw that the file contained five references to www.DailyMail.co.uk and so included that in my summary. However https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&target=http://www.DailyMail.co.uk includes dailymail.co.uk in the results.
Is the Special:Linksearch help on both Wikipedia and here on Mediawiki outdated? Marc Kupper (talk) 19:58, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- On Internet, domain names are case insensitive. However, paths and filenames are (usually) not. Maybe what's case sensitive is any path, file or fragment of the URL, but not the domain itself. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Ciencia Al Poder. I realized I could do some testing to confirm that.

- I tried to update Help:Linksearch but it's complaining about the translation marks though they appeared to be syntactically correct to me.
- Existing text:
- Even if multiple URLs lead to the same target, with regard to capitalisation, multiple underscores, and using "index.php" or not, Linksearch is case-sensitive after the first slash (/) and also does not find alternatively written URLs.
- Therefore, when creating an external link, for optimal use of Linksearch, use a canonical form for the URL.
- In particular, if after following a link the address bar shows a modified URL, change the URL in the link to that.
- Proposed text:
- Even if multiple URLs lead to the same target, with regard to capitalisation, multiple underscores, and using "index.php" or not, Linksearch is case-sensitive after the slash (/) that separates the host or domain part of a domain name from the [/path][?query][#fragment] parts. The domain name part is not case sensitive meaning a search for http://www.mediawiki.org/ returns the same results as a search for http://www.MediaWiki.org/
- Linksearch does not find alternatively written URLs. Therefore, when creating an external link, for optimal use of Linksearch, use a canonical form for the URL. In particular, if after following a link the address bar shows a modified URL, change the URL in the link to that.
- Along with the rewording I tried to separate out the part about link normalisation into its own bullet. Marc Kupper (talk) 16:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Empty pages after XML dump import
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I am using MediWiki 1.27.4. If I import an XML dump by Special:Import the pages are imported but no content is available. In the revision table I can find two revisions for each imported page. The first has the timestamp of the original revision and the name of the original user. This revision refers into the text table to the original content. That is fine. The second revision has the timestamp of the import and the importing user and the comment 1 revision imported, but it refers into the text table to old_id (rev_text_id) 0 with empty text. Unfortunately this revision is the last revision in the page table. What can I do that the first one is the latest or better that the second refers to the original content in the text table?

Hello,
In the https://als.wikipedia.org/, we voted for a change in our MediaWiki configuration: we want to have wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false
Who can do this change? Where can we make a request for it?

Installatron messed me up!
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Okay, so I decided to upgrade from 1.28.2 to 1.29 and now I'm regretting it. I made a full backup of the site earlier in the day so I didn't feel the need to do another before Installatron started. I used it to upgrade and right before finishing it popped up telling me it couldn't log on the database. All of my settings got changed. I changed them back and it seems to be working. But now I'm having problems. When I log out and log in I'm given errors (like it inserts "localhost" between the site name and index.php in the url or upon logging in the page won't refresh) and then when you edit the page doesn't reload but rather stays on the ?action=submit page. When trying to create a new account the site displays several more errors, despite having created the account. As for the backup I didn't do a "home backup" and "database backup", rather I did a "full backup" so now I don't know how to fix anything! 173.92.120.228 (talk) 05:41, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

- What errors are you seeing? Are you sure that the LocalSettings.php is the same? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 03:05, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Right now the only errors that I see are blank pages. For instance, Special:Random stays on that page and is blank, when you log out and log in the page freezes on a blank page with a header which reads "Log in" (&returnto= and &returntoquery= do not work - they don't redirect - but when you go to a page you are logged in), when you edit a page and submit it hangs on a blank page (action=submit doesn't redirect - but apparently the edit is saved).
- I've updated all of my extensions. Creating an account now seems to work with no errors. Uploading a file will upload a file, but the page doesn't redirect. Well, it does, but the page is blank except for the header which reads "Upload file". I haven't really noticed anything else... Bttfvgo (talk) 03:38, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I got an email saying the install failed. I went to try it again and it wouldn't let me do it because it said I was running the current version.
- And then it started acting up... Also, during my create user test, clicking on the confirm email link brings me to nothing on the desktop (a blank page - "about:blank") and a "Safari cannot open the page because it is a local file." error on mobile.

- Sir I know you are busy so I won't bug you. I had everything so messed up it about got deleted. Luckily I was able to restore the working 1.28.2 version from the full backup I had done earlier that day. I accidentally removed my install from installatron so I guess it's like a standalone copy now. That's okay. I think if I go through the upgrade guide and upgrade the site myself, I think I'll have much better luck doing it that way. And seeing it's no longer on installatron, I guess I'll just have to do all of the upgrading myself (which I would rather do if it would save me all the hassle!) I've even had several new user signups since the site went back online so hopefully that's a good sign that everything's up and running. Thanks again sir! Bttfvgo (talk) 07:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- One more thing - I did notice when I finally got the old site running and was able to run the update script (the new version gave me a plethora of problems as far as running maintenance scripts) was that it said my php needed an upgrade (it's 5.4 and I needed at least 5.5). I can get my hosting company to up it to 7.1 in the morning, but it makes me wonder if that could have been the problem all along. The funny thing is I was going to upgrade my php first but seeing I couldn't do it without contacting my hosting company I chose to upgrade the site first. I think that was my biggest mistake. I'll try upgrading by hand tomorrow and if that doesn't work I'll let you know! Thanks again! Bttfvgo (talk) 07:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Session Hijacking and not able to login or create new account MW 1.29.1
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi,
I am using
- MW 1.29.1
- PHP 5.6.31
- Mysql 5.7.19
- Apache 2.4
I am getting the following error message and not able to login and create any new user account.
Error : There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again.
I searched through the web and tried couple of solutions that are listed below, but I am not able to get the issue cleared. Following are the solution I tried.
1. Adding different combinations of the below listed.
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;, CACHE_NONE;, CACHE_ANYTHING;
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;
2. Setting cookie secure to false.
$wgCookieSecure = false;
3. Setting tmp folder under MW installation and referring it under Localsettings.php
I am running this setup in my local machine.

404 when upgrading from MediaWiki 1.28.2 to 1.29.2
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have read several dozen webpages regarding upgrading MediaWiki, especially Manual:Upgrading
I followed the instructions but in the end I get:
404 The page you are looking for cannot be found.
The current Wiki is here: https://wiki<dot>XXX<dot>com<dot>sg
This is working well.
The upgraded Wiki is at another subdomain: https://mirror<dot>XXX<dot>com<dot>sg
So I changed in LocalSettings.php file:
$wgServer = "https://mirror<dot>XXX<dot>com<dot>sg";
It is using a duplicated database.
The previous creator of the wiki had used short URLs with .htaccess file.
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
He had placed all the files at the web document root so
$wgScriptPath = "";
I commented some namespaces that were not used.
Database:
The database is using phpMyAdmin MariaDB10.
The old database dataXXX1 had collation utf8_general_ci
time mysqldump -h localhost --socket /run/mysqld/mysqld10.sock -u userXXX1 -p --default-character-set=utf8 dataXXX1 -r backup_dataXXX1_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H_%M`.sql
Then I imported into a new MariaDB10 database with collation utf8_unicode_ci.
In LocalSettings.php file:
# MySQL table options to use during installation or update
$wgDBTableOptions = "ENGINE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=binary";
changed to -->
$wgDBTableOptions = "ENGINE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8";
I commented:
## Shared memory settings
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;
$wgMemCachedServers = array();
Copying the required files:
I used the Vector skin, so commented all other skins.
I used the same extensions, all downloaded matching the WikiMedia version 1.29.2.
The images and extensions are placed inside the new wiki.
The .htaccess and new LocalSettings.php are inserted in the new wiki.
I am using Synology NAS.
I set owner and permissions:
time chown -R http.http /web/document/root/
cd /web/document/root/
time find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
time find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
time chown http.http /web/document/root
time chown http.http /web/document/root/*
time chown http.http /web/document/root/.*
cd /web/document/root/
chmod 775 *
chmod 775 .*
Running update script:
I transferred the new wiki to online.
I ran the update script in the maintenance directory using the shell command:
php56 update.php
It completed successfully with no errors.
When accessing the new wiki, I get this error page:
404 The page you are looking for cannot be found.
The .htaccess file is:
# Expires Caching Start #
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>

I deleted the .htaccess file. I get the same 404 result.
Hope somebody can help. N S Christian (talk) 09:55, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
- It may be that the mod_expires apache module isn't installed on the new server. What happens if you replace the .htaccess with the following:

I was publishing my text so i clicked publish. It said that an error occured and when i came back to the text it was all gone. How can i get the text back? Lillespark (talk) 11:14, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
- Might be possible to get the text back from browser cache. Don't open the webpage again, as it might remove the earlier cached content.
- If you were using Firefox, browse to
about:cacheand find (Ctrl+F) the URL of the Wiki you were editing. - For Chrome, as it stores its cache in HEX format, you'll need to use Nirisoft's ChromeCacheView. In the application (Ctrl+F) a part of the relevant URL. After selecting the desired file, use the option on the Copy Selected Cache Files To... toolbar option.

- MarkAHershberger, downgrading to the working version of xampp is not an option.
- Ciencia Al Poder, $wgShowExceptionDetails isn't in my LocalSettings.php. I added it manually ----> Thanks for the suggestion.
- It's erroring out with "Pear mail package not installed"
- Seems Pear was part of Xampp package in the past that was installed automatically but is no longer.
- Root cause was "C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\UserMailer.php: PEAR mail package is not installed"

- Looks like you have installed an LDAP extension for the latest MediaWiki version, while you're using MediaWiki 1.23. That won't work. You should download the extension for the 1.23 version of MediaWiki, or even better, upgrade MediaWiki to one of the supported versions since 1.23 is no longer supported.

I was wondering whether MediaWiki supports loading PowerPoint presentations and making the contents searchable in the search function.
Thanks,
Jeff 199.85.22.100 (talk) 22:53, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
- As far as I know, there is no extension that will make PowerPoint presentations content available. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 17:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- The Extension:ExtendedSearch, which is part of the BlueSpice MediaWiki distribution uses Lucene/SOLR to index uploaded files. It can handle a range of office types (doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, pdf). Fulltext search is possible. With a little effort you can also install it without the rest of the distribution extensions. Osnard (talk) 07:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

VisualEditor times out after upgrade
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi all,
I'm upgrading a private wiki from mediawiki 1.25 to 1.27.4. The update completed successfully, but I'm unable to use VisualEditor (source code editor is fine). When I try to edit a page, the progress bar hangs at ~70%, then times out after 30 seconds, with "Error loading data from server: HTTP 0. Would you like to retry?" dialog.
The problem appears to be a database locking issue. When I try to edit a page, the last statement in the postgres log is:
2017-12-07 10:01:22 CST: LOG: statement: INSERT /* SqlBagOStuff::setMulti 127.0.0.1 */ INTO "objectcache" (keyname,value,exptime) VALUES ('itwiki:messages:en:lock','\xcbb432b40600','2017-12-07 16:01:52 GMT')
30 seconds later, the database logs many more statements, then stops with another similar insert:
2017-12-07 10:02:02 CST: LOG: statement: INSERT /* SqlBagOStuff::setMulti 127.0.0.1 */ INTO "objectcache" (keyname,value,exptime) VALUES ('itwiki:messages:en:lock','\xcbb432b40600','2017-12-07 16:02:32 GMT')
2 minutes after the edit request, the database logs more statements, and seems recovered.
During this time, I see pending locks in the database (which disappear 2 minutes after the edit request):
itwiki=# SELECT relation::regclass, * FROM pg_locks WHERE NOT GRANTED;
relation | locktype | database | relation | page | tuple | virtualxid | transactionid | classid | objid | objsubid | virtualtransaction | pid | mode | granted | fastpath
----------+---------------+----------+----------+------+-------+------------+---------------+---------+-------+----------+--------------------+-------+-----------+---------+----------
| transactionid | | | | | | 3736 | | | | 3/176 | 22633 | ShareLock | f | f
| transactionid | | | | | | 3736 | | | | 4/72 | 22665 | ShareLock | f | f
(2 rows)
The 2 minutes timing is also reflected in the parsoid logs, which indicate ~122000ms to parse the page:
Dec 07 10:03:24 inferno.keck.waisman.wisc.edu node[26261]: {"name":"parsoid","hostname":"inferno.keck.waisman.wisc.edu","pid":20513,"level":30,"logType":"info","wiki":"wiki$0","title":"Main_Page","oldId":892,"reqId":null,"userAgent":"VisualEditor-MediaWiki/1.27.4","msg":"completed parsing in 122358 ms","longMsg":"completed parsing in 122358 ms","levelPath":"info","time":"2017-12-07T16:03:24.339Z","v":0}

Not able to create new account on wiki using API
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello,
I'm trying to use the API to create accounts for some users.
My tests are performed from a C# application.
However, I always receive :
{"error": {
"code": "notoken",
"info": "The \"token\" parameter must be set.",
My steps are the following:
- GET on: ?action=query&meta=tokens&type=createaccount
- Get on: ?action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo&amirequestsfor=create
- POST on: ?action=createaccount&format=json&token={token}&createreturnurl={URL}" passing username, password, retype and token received on first step as body.
Could you please tell what I'm doing wrong? Dan.aluas (talk) 12:46, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

- var request = new RestRequest("?action=query&meta=tokens&type=createaccount&format=json", Method.GET);
- var response = client.Execute(request);
- Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
- string cookieName = response.Cookies[0].Name;
- string cookieValue = response.Cookies[0].Value;
- var tokens = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TokenResponse>(response.Content);
- request = new RestRequest("?action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo&amirequestsfor=create&format=json", Method.GET);
- response = client.Execute(request);
- Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
- request = new RestRequest($"?action=createaccount&format=json&createreturnurl=http://localhost", Method.POST);
- MediaWikiUser user = new MediaWikiUser
- {
- CreateToken = tokens.Query.Tokens.CreateAccountToken,
- UserName = "Bobica",
- Password = "p@ssw0rd",
- Retype = "p@ssw0rd",
- Reason = "Daia"

- (Note, contrary to what Reception123 said, failing to set $wgPasswordSender or $wgSMTP does not cause this error). Bawolff (talk) 13:46, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- I'm encountering this as well. The SMTP settings are correct (and verified using smtper.net), but despite everything being configured in LocalSettings the Special:PasswordReset page still gives the error, "The password reset was not handled. Maybe no provider was configured?" No custom auth extensions or other customizations are in place, and the installation is up-to-date at 1.30.0. Any thoughts on what might be happening? Thanks!

I just installed media wiki on my website, want a text editor
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
to type normal, visual editor seems good but from the FAQ's and other information, I'm not sure if it is something I can download that all users to the site will be able to use?
Beyond that, there are only three versions in the download section, 1.27 is one, but mine is 1.27.4, is that the right one to download.
So is the visual editor not what I should use to set up a website where visual editor is enabled for all users, and if should my installation of 1.27.4 be paired with 1.27 in the download visual editor? 1stplebian (talk) 00:30, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Depends on who the target audience for your Wiki is. If they are people new to Wikis, Extension:VisualEditor would be the preferred option, for experienced users the Extension:WikiEditor would be fine.
- VisualEditor 1.27 is the correct version for MediaWiki 1.27.4 too.
- Whether you'll be able to make VisualEditor work for your Wiki depends a lot on the kind of hosting you are using. Shared hosting plans will, in many cases, make it impractical. to use. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 04:10, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Better method for backing up the wiki.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Referring to the document:
It is suggested that you can back up a MySQL database using the command:
mysqldump --user=wikidb_user --password=wikidb_userpassword wikidb > file.sql
but this isn't entirely accurate. This will not preserve the name of the database name of the wiki. A more robust backup would be:
mysqldump --user=wikidb_user --password=wikidb_userpassword --databases wikidb > file.sql
which tells mysqldump to also include a CREATE DATABASE clause as the first step in the script. Why on earth does the documentation suggest this method? 212.204.84.138 (talk) 14:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Javascript is sketchy
I was testing a Gadget I used to use (jCarousel) and I noticed it only works half the time. (I'm on Vector). Chrome debug console gives me the following errors:
This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "jquery.ui.core".
Please use "mediawiki.ui.button" or "oojs-ui" instead.
This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "jquery.ui.widget".
This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "jquery.ui.position".
In that vein, I've noticed that all of my Javascript is acting funny. My drop down menus don't work, search suggestions don't work, basically anything involving Javascript only works half the time now. Is there something I can change to get them to start working? These errors are being shown on every page. Thank you! Bttfvgo (talk) 00:53, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

- While you should upgrade your dependencies, its likely the js "half-working" is caused by something else. Bawolff (talk) 23:33, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

- I've been looking though various files and haven't found anything useful. I do see that those modules aren't in my Resources director (like other jquery modules) so I know that's the problem. But I'm unsure of how to remove those references to them. I checked Wikivoyage (where they also use jCarousel) and they have the same problem - yet their carousel still works. So I'm sure the problem is somewhere else, I just don't know where. I do really really love this software and I'm willing to learn!
- UPDATE: Found them all in /public_html/resources/lib/jquery.ui/ but don't know what to do with them. Bttfvgo (talk) 02:28, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Uncaught TypeError: $.debounce is not a function- is highly likely related to the issues you are seeing (Likely caused by dependency

Bawolff (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC) - I finally just moved my hosting from shared hosting to VPS. It has been a chore to get right but everything seems to be running great again. I was able to install JDK so I don't have to worry about that anymore. I did need to update Java on my device. It had been reminding me for awhile. It hasn't given me a problem since. It still displays the errors but only if you go into Chrome's Developer Tools. Everything works good now, though, so I'm not going to complain!
- @Bawolff, you mention dependencies being declared in the wrong order. Do they load in the order in which the extension calling for them is listed in LocalSettings.php? I only ask because I decided to organize my settings file by alphabetizing all of the extensions. I did make notes throughout as certain extensions (like Scribunto, Syntax Highlighter, and Visual Editor) do say that items needed to be listed in a certain order. In that case I changed the order of the extension attribute declarations (like $wgScribuntoUseGeSHi = true; and $wgScribuntoUseCodeEditor = true;). For some reason I feel I'm doing it wrong but I'm not complaining! It works again! Yea! Bttfvgo (talk) 04:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Java and Javascript are entirely separate things (Calling it javascript was a marketing ploy by Netscape back in the 90's because they thought java had a lot of positive buzz), so upgrading the jdk should have no affect.
- For dependencies, I don't mean LocalSettings.php. In the code of the gadget javascript (that is what the programmer made), having things in wrong order could cause problems. Order should mostly not matter in LocalSettings.php, and anywhere it does matter your site will probably totally not work at all so it will be really noticable Bawolff (talk) 05:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

I went to the link and made a mistake clicking on my country instead of the 'categories' and uploaded my entries there. How do I know if my photos were entered in the competition? Anna Varona (talk) 23:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Anna, iIf there is some "Wikiscience competition" somewhere then you'll have to go to that somewhere and bring up your question there. It is not a competition on mediawiki.org, I am afraid. :) Malyacko (talk) 09:18, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Restore from old server
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi, I'd like to migrate my wiki DB from old server to new one
old: CentOS 5, MySQL Distrib 5.1.30, for pc-linux-gnu (i686), MediaWiki 1.17
new CentOS 7, MySQL Distrib 5.5.56-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64), MediaWiki 1.29.2
I ran on old server: mysqldump -u root -pxxx DB > DB.dump.sql
on new : mysql -u root -pxxx -D DB < DB.dump.sql ; withour errors and warnings!
And the Wiki system was down - present some XML or SQL errors.
I succeed to restore the original DB from older backup.
Any suggestions, please!? Baruchgu (talk) 08:23, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I Know this is really vague, but I am honestly not sure what data would be useful.
I have a working 1.27.4 installation, that I am trying to add VisualEditor to. I 've found a few guides online and have followed them and whenever I add the 'VisualEditor' piece to my LocalSettings.php file I see a 403 Access Denied error when I try to access my wiki by IP address. If I try to access a specific page (ie.e. not just the home page) I get a 500 Error.
I can comment out hte visual editor piece in the LocalSettings.php doc and everythign starts working again, and I CAN access parsoid through IP:8000
Any assistance would be appreciated. 74.81.182.2 (talk) 23:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- Appears to be hosting issue.
- You server logs should detail the reasons for the 500 errors. Could be due to file permissions problems. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 09:26, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello -I am currently in version 1.25.3 on a hosted server (http://yan.clot.free.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Accueil) -I am trying to create a page where the user could click on a link to download a file. (for example, on a page dedicated to the hike, the user could download a rando.gpx file which he could then load into his GPS to view a trace) -I have an example of this type of link in mediawiki (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MaintenanceShell), but I can not implement it (see my page http://yan.clot.free.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Cap_du_Dramont) -Can anyone help me ? Greetings Ycsoft (talk) 12:46, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- This is not something MediaWiki can do directly, because that is a direct link to a file on the server. You should configure it on the webserver.
- I see the .gpx file is served with Content-Type: text/plain. You probably want to tell the webserver (apache, apparently), to serve it with an appropriate content-type, which apparently should be "application/gpx+xml". See this little guide that I found: http://www.htaccess-guide.com/adding-mime-types/
- With this change, normally the browser won't understand how to open that type of file and offer it for download directly. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:38, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- Isn't the Media namespacw ehat you want?
- E.g. You upload your file through the uplod function of MediaWiki (which might need some configuration to allow your file type/mime type). Then you can link the file directly using the Media namespace like so: Media:Wiki.png. This will link to the file directly instead of to the description page. 2001:16B8:103C:5F00:D822:1420:377A:A3C5 (talk) 21:34, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Website: http://list.wiki/
Hi, we're considered new to mediawiki. We bought a godaddy hosting a week ago with mediawiki installed, but after a week or so we received the Internal error "Fatal exception of type "DBQueryError" when we access our website (it's a sudden error and we didn't change any code or install extensions, just input data normally).
We called hosting support, they checked it's not their problem, and tried to solve but failed to so they asked us to contact mediawiki support.
Opening up the error log, we saw mostly of the erorrs are:
PHP Deprecated: Function mcrypt_create_iv() is deprecated in /home/listwiki/public_html/includes/libs/CryptRand.php on line 256"
We're not sure how to solve this problem, does anyone face this issue and know how to solve this issue? Thanks a lot for the help. Ljianyih (talk) 06:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

- To run the required parsoid service, you will need SSH access (unless your hosting provider can install and run it for you).
- OR you could try using VisualEditor/Installation on a shared host option which will limit the editor use, but wouldn't require "server access" on your host. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 06:28, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello everyone, good morning.
I recently installed MediaWiki Software on my localhost for testicles. I'd like to know more stuff before activating it on my site.
1ª I would like to know how I can edit the template of my MediaWiki, and I speak the tags in HTML, I can not find, where it is. I want to add some things on the homepage and login and on other pages as well. I'm using the MonoBook theme.
2ª I would also like to know where I can edit the CSS of my theme.
3ª I would like to know if it is possible to put the same editor as the Wikipedia encyclopedia.
Thank you in advance. Paulo.adrp (talk) 05:30, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- You should be more specific about what do you want to do. The "main page" is a page like any other, you can edit it. If you want to add something to the existing interface, there are some Hooks you can use to add specific HTML to certain places. Editing the existing PHP files is generally discouraged.

Tracking all external links
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi, I would like to add an onclick event to all external links on my wiki so that I can track the clicks with google analytics. My problem is that I can't find the php page and function where the external links are generated. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks Yonidebest (talk) 07:07, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- You could probably use Manual:Hooks/LinkerMakeExternalLink hook. Osnard (talk) 13:07, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not actually proficient in php, I can't build new extensions and I have no idea where and how to use hooks. I thought I could just add the needed text to the php page which parses the external links - there must be a function for that somewhere? Is it not a good idea? Yonidebest (talk) 13:17, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Modifying the source code is evil - don't do that. It will e.g. make updates harder or even impossible.
- Using the LinkerMakeExternalLink hook also sounds like an idea to me. According to the manual page, you can add your code in the &$attribs variable inside the hook function... 2001:16B8:103C:5F00:1912:75CC:7173:6850 (talk) 21:28, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Instead of adding an "onclick" property, you should add it programmatically from JavaScript itself, see for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12284168/adding-onclick-event-dynamically-using-jquery
- See Manual:Interface/JavaScript for places where you can add your scripts. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- MediaWiki already has too many scripts loading, I don't think I should add another. Where do i place the LinkerMakeExternalLink hook? LocalSettings? Yonidebest (talk) 12:45, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
$wgHooks['LinkerMakeExternalLink'][] = 'addOnclickToExternalLinks'; function addOnclickToExternalLinks (&$url, &$text, &$link, &$attribs, $linktype) { $onclickAttrib = "blah"; $link = sprintf('<a href="%s" onclick="%s"%s>%s</a>', $url, $onclickAttrib, $attribs, $text); return false; }- Would this work in LocalSettings? Am I missing something? Yonidebest (talk) 20:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- A script would be required to create the function that the onclick handler would call, so you might as well just add an event handler to the script rather than cluttering up your page source. It would slow the page down less too. 108.171.134.161 (talk) 02:30, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- You can add the following to your
LocalSettings.php - Osnard (talk) 14:13, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
$wgHooks['LinkerMakeExternalLink'][] = 'addOnclickToExternalLinks'; function addOnclickToExternalLinks (&$url, &$text, &$link, &$attribs, $linktype) { $attribs['onclick'] = 'alert("I am here!");'; return true; }
Certain Articles With Coordinates Not Showing in Location API Queries
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello, I'm currently working on a project using the MediaWiki Location API to find locations near a specific GPS coordinate. The API works great! Edits to an article's coordinates are updated immediately using the API which is also great. But there are some articles which have GPS coordinates, but don't show up in the API queries. An example would be The Mont Royal Chalet in Montreal. I was wondering how to go about editing the page to ensure it shows up when using the API.
Thanks, PhilEH (talk) 22:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, it seems there is a bug in the code that handles the coordinates when they are specified in the article in this particular format. I have now changed the format and I think that this should fix it for now. I've asked someone who knows a lot about this to double check this problem and hopefully he can solve it for all other occurrences. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 12:11, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Several "ResourceLoader warnings" and "npp_ajax_request is not defined" issues
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello,
I have setup a MediaWiki site several months ago. Its version is 2.9.1. I installed the following extensions:
Cite / CiteThisPage / Gadgets / ImageMap / InputBox / Interwiki / LocalisationUpdate / Nuke / ParserFunctions / PdfHandler / Poem / Renameuser / SpamBlacklist / SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi / TitleBlacklist / WikiEditor / VisualEditor / Scribunto / TemplateData / AbuseFilter / GettingStarted / PageImages / SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi / MassMessage / Linter / Echo / CategoryTree / ReplaceText / GeoData / Popups / TextExtracts / BetaFeatures
When I access any wiki page, I get the following warnings and errors on my browser console. I wonder if somebody knows what causes the browser to generate such warnings and errors. Is there any conflict between extensions I have installed? Do I use an obsolete extension?
Thanks,

Uncaught ReferenceError: npp_ajax_request is not defined Niagarafalls (talk) 08:43, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- searching the web for npp_ajax_request looks like it's in some custom scripts. This is caused by some JavaScript loaded from your personal scripts or something in MediaWiki:Common.js or similar. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- I imported MediaWiki:Common.js from Wikipedia without touching it. BTW, I deleted MediaWiki:Common.js, but I still get the same error. Niagarafalls (talk) 10:01, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- The warnings are not a problem (it just takes long for all the existing modules to be rewritten to use the newer methodologies). The npp_ajax_request is more problematic.
- npp_ajax_request() is part of a userscript or gadget however and not part of the main software. You should therefore check those. It's probably best to completely remove the offending code, or you have to search for a newer version of it (that is also actively supported) on wikipedia or something and copy it from there. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 10:58, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- The issue is resolved.
- There was a gadget as @TheDJ mentioned that caused npp_ajax_request error. I disabled it and everything looks good now.
- There was also another gadget that generated all warning messages. I disabled that gadget as well. No warning anymore. Niagarafalls (talk) 11:33, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Subcategories are not listed in parent category page
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have a MediaWiki installed on a standalone server. I created many categories and organized all categories into a hierarchy with a single top level category.
In MediaWiki software, if the category contains subcategories, they should be listed under the content and above the list of the pages that are directly assigned to the parent category. But it does not happen in my installed software; subcategories are not listed in their parent category page. Does anybody know possible causes?
Thanks, Niagarafalls (talk) 14:52, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- To give more information of the issue, I imported categories from another wiki using Special:Export/Special:Import.
- Each category had several subcategories. I hoped that importing category from another wiki would preserve category's hierarchy. But that didn't work. To my understanding, the "categorylinks" table keeps category->subcategory relationships and hierarchy. But that table was not populated properly during the import. Is there any way to fix that? Niagarafalls (talk) 22:57, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- Populating this table after an edit or import is done through a background process called Manual:Job queue. By default it picks one job on each page load, so it may take a while if your wiki has too few visits. Or it may not work at all if it has problems executing those jobs (specially since MediaWiki 1.22). See the manual page for some diagnostics and solutions.

- This probably means your wiki is too slow, maybe you're on a very slow machine, or database hasn't been configured properly Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:24, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hello again.
- Is there any manual import method? Well apparently I can not import the Wiki itself. If it exists, please tell me.
- Thanks in advance. Paulo.adrp (talk) 04:55, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- For a more "manual import method", go to: Template:Infobox government agency&action=edit, beneath the edit box, there should be a "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" section.
- Open the first page under this section.
- Create a page by the same name on your Wiki.
- Copy the code from the Wikipedia page.
- Paste the code inside the page you created on your Wiki and save the page.
- Perform these steps on all the pages in the "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" section. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:10, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Look at me again!
- It looks like I'm getting the hang of it, but once I apologize for the inconvenience and the inconvenience, but I also ask you to help me resolve my situation.
- - The Wiki was on localhost, now I put it on a dedicated server. I am able to export / import perfectly, no limit error appears, thank you for help, because I solved my problem. But now there is another problem and doubts.
- 1. I have a problem when importing, an error appears in my Wiki, saying, the import failed, how can I solve this problem?
- https://i.imgur.com/TRpYAwC.png
- 2. I have a question about importing INFO from Wikipedia. I'm putting the following codes in "Add pages manually" this way, is that so, or am I doing something wrong?

Template:Info Template:Info/doc Template:Infobox Template:Infobox/doc Template:Infobox software Template:Infobox software/doc Template:Infobox software license Template:Infobox software/sandbox Template:Infobox software/testcases Template:Infobox software platform Template:Infobox software/simple Template:Infobox software/stacked Template:Infobox software license/sandbox Template:Infobox software license/doc
- 3. I want to know if it is possible to add all the INFO of Wikipedia, if there is any code for it or even an extension. If it does not exist it could help me implement the Software INFO. If there is a request please send me the download link for export, to import me to my Wiki.
- 4. Is it possible to undo an import? If yes, how?
- I leave my thank you right away. Paulo.adrp (talk) 08:46, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- problem when importing → It says the lua binary is not executable. You should give that file executable permissions. On unix you usually do that by issuing this command:
chmod a+x (the full path to the file) - Adding all pages from Wikipedia on your own wiki is possible, but note that Wikipedia has so many pages that you'll need a lot of disk space to store that, the import will take several days, and your wiki will be probably slow unless you're on a big server. You can get dumps of Wikipedia from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/
- Undoing an import is not straightforward. Imports usually create pages, you'd need to manually delete them. If the page exists before the import, it will have revisions added to it, which may be difficult to determine which ones came from the import. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:10, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Answered above. An example of the
chmod a+xcommand, which you will need to run through SSH (command line terminal linked to your hosting server), is present at Extension:Scribunto#Manual installation. - This is fine, but you don't need to enter each page's name in the text box. On the Special:Export page, when you just insert
Template:Noticeand check the "Include templates" checkbox, it will automatically download all the other relevant templates. The "relevant templates" would be the ones which can be seen in the "Pages transcluded onto the current version of this page" section on the edit page. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:49, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Answered above. An example of the
- Just one problem, where I add this code?: <code>chmod a+x (the full path to the file)</code>
- My operating system is Windows, I use FileZilla to edit the files on my Wiki, my server has a CPanel, I need to do what?
- Thank you again. Paulo.adrp (talk) 10:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Which hosting provider are you using for your "dedicated server"?
- You will have to connect with your account on the server through a secured command line terminal, termed as SSH. The Windows application to use for this would be PuTTY.
- You will need to read the documentation from your hosting provider for the exact way to connect through SSH. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 13:51, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hello!
- I recently purchased a hosting at HostGator.
extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/yourOS/lua- I accessed my Scribunto folder, looking for
yourOS/lua, but these folders do not exist in my extension, it is important to note that my Wiki is in version 1.29. - https://i.imgur.com/bgpwZqT.png
- Because the folder does not exist I can not insert the following code into my SSH.
chmod a+x /path/to/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/yourOS/lua chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /path/to/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/yourOS/lua
- Thanks again. Paulo.adrp (talk) 15:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
yourOSmeans the operating system (OS) you are running MediaWiki on, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS.- Assuming you are running Linux on your HostGator account, the simplest way is to ask the support staff of your hosting provider, whether Linux OS is 32 bit or 65 bit.
- If your OS is 32 bit, replace
yourOSfrom the above command withlua5_1_5_linux_32_generic. - If your OS is 64 bit, replace
yourOSfrom the above command withlua5_1_5_linux_64_generic. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 17:09, 23 December 2017 (UTC) - If you don't want to wait for a response, you can also use the trial & error method. Try the first one and, if it fails, try the second one ;) Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 11:44, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- I did not understand, explaining myself better? Paulo.adrp (talk) 16:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Basically, you have to replace "yourOS" with lua5_1_5_linux_32_generic or lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic.
- If in doubt, try using lua5_1_5_linux_32_generic first, and if it's still failing, try with lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:12, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- It is working, but it is working with error, this error appears to me.
Error in Lua: internal error: the interpreter was terminated with the sign "11" Error in Lua: internal error: the interpreter was terminated with the sign "11" Script error: module not found- https://i.imgur.com/mpfCXkd.png
- Look how it is, it's on the left side and should be on the right side, and it's also bugged.
- Could you send me the download link for me to download the info and info software package? Paulo.adrp (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- Which "yourOS" did you choose?
- This error might be occurring because you chose the wrong one (Project:Support desk/Flow/2013/09#h-Lua_error:_Internal_error:_The_interpreter_has_terminated_with_signal_"11".-2013-09-17T19:59:00.000Z). Try attempting with the other one. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:09, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- I will contact you to solve this problem and you sent me.
- But please, send me the INFO CSS code? Paulo.adrp (talk) 04:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

VisualEditor 1.30 truncates data and repeats them
Last version of VisualEditor for MW 1.30 truncates data. When I create or edit a page which contains long code (can be just Lorem ipsum), which is more than ~10kB (size is changing around this size), it truncates data after this size. Instead of the subsequent data, it prints the following code (I present only part because of this editor limitation) followed by the first 10kB of code from page (Lorem ipsum text), and again and again until it reaches the original size of code.
... <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta property="mw:pageNamespace" content="0" /> <meta property="mw:pageId" content="1" /> <meta property="dc:modified" content="2017-12-19T11:43:54.000Z" /> <meta property="mw:revisionSHA1" content="52037c2060186c3b757682d49c79c681de3a92b6" /> <meta property="isMainPage" content="true" /> <meta property="mw:html:version" content="1.5.0" /> [1]<title>Main_Page</title><base href="https://domain.com/wiki/company/index.php?title=" />[//domai ...

Math extension gets PHP Parse error on load
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask about an extension. Trying to enable Math extension, get blank page on startup with this error:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /var/www/html/extensions/Math/Math.hooks.php on line 12
OS is RHEL 6.7, Mediawiki 1.26.4, PHP 5.3.3.
Have tried Math vers. 23, 27 and 30, same symptom.

- Mediawiki requires at least php 5.4 since Mediawiki 1.20. And even MediaWiki 1.26 is rather ancient honestly. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talk • contribs) 07:34, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know, but I'm pretty much limited to running what I can on RHEL's "stock" version of PHP (5.3.3 at this OS level), and according to the version compatibility matrix MW 1.26 was as high as I could go with that PHP.

Have tried in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Unicode is definitely on in Firefox, and I added extension for it in chrome, but still no luck. Is it perhaps the website or host? Workaround suggestions? Thanks. 2601:58C:C200:1B0:581:9252:72B4:73E (talk) 17:15, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- The edit page of MediaWiki sends a unicode test-string to and compares it with an internal constant. So either the HTTP request actually contains a wrong string or the serverside has an issue.
- Is is possible that your network traffic is being modified? By a proxy maybe?
- Is the wiki a public (WMF) wiki or a private wiki? Osnard (talk) 13:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

- Maybe, I find the problem point. Are you set $wgReservedUsernames in LocalSettings.php? Or do you installed an extension that blocks users from logging in or registering? 星耀晨曦 (talk) 21:53, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't have any $wgReservedUsernames defined in LocalSettings.
- I do have new account creation turned off for unregistered users (
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;). I tried re-enabling account creation and re-running changePassword but the result is the same. - I have several extensions installed, but none specifically for blocking logins or registrations. Other than the three automatically-installed "spam prevention" extensions (ConfirmEdit, SpamBlacklist, and TitleBlacklist), I have two others: Abuse Filter and AntiSpoof. I've tried disabling them both and re-running changePassword but that also didn't seem to change anything. Huwmanbeing (talk) 11:24, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Very strange. Add
var_dump($reservedUsernames);to line 912 in includes/user/User.php. 星耀晨曦 (talk) 11:37, 21 February 2018 (UTC) - Yes, it's very odd — I really appreciate all your help with trying to track it down. Here's the result from

- Here's the coda to the story. After setting

After disabling that extension, I was able to log in without issue — and I verified that changePassword worked fine too. The source of the problem was apparently the
MediaWiki:Newusermessage-editorsetting, which was set to "Huwmanbeing". I've now set up a separate account just for that extension to use for posting welcome messages. - Thanks again! Huwmanbeing (talk) 10:24, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

- No, I haven't installed anything authentication-related. I just upgraded from 1.29.1 to 1.30.0 to see if that might address the problem, but unfortunately no luck. I'm baffled about how to diagnose and solve this. Huwmanbeing (talk) 13:52, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

- I've run update.php and temporarily pared out as much as I can from LocalSettings. I also set up a $wgDebugLogFile to get more detail, and attempted to make the change via both changePassword.php and the Special:PasswordReset page, but it doesn't seem to shed much light. There's one relevant line which notes...
[authentication] User1 attempted password reset of User2 but failed- ...but otherwise gives no indication of exactly why it failed, and concludes with "the request ended normally". Huwmanbeing (talk) 15:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Is it possible that email needs to be set up and working in order to use changePassword? (Since I'm having some problems with SMTP, just wondered if that might affect this.) Might be no connection, but I'm grasping at straws... Huwmanbeing (talk) 10:42, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Email isn't necessary to run changePassword.php. You can try Manual:CreateAndPromote.php to change the password, but it looks like you have some sort of alternative for user authentication set up. ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 01:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Good thought; I just tried CreateAndPromote with --force to try resetting a password for the account, but unfortunately the result is the same:

(I normally have new account creation turned off, but the error also occurs when it's on.) What does it mean by "no provider configured"? Do you know of any way to determine what's happening? Huwmanbeing (talk) 15:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Sounds like you have disabled local password authentication. Check $wgAuthManagerConfig / $wgAuthManagerAutoConfig. (The easiest way is probably to run
maintenance/shell.phpand then just type in the names of those variables.) Tgr (WMF) (talk) 19:52, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I want to have Special:NewPages give me new pages for all content namespaces
I came up with this hack where Special:NewPages will have a new parameter that lets you display all the pages that are in $wgContentNamespaces, using {{Special:NewPages/contentnamespaces}}. It's:
In /includes/specials/pagers/NewPagesPager.php add to the getQueryInfo() function, after the other statements setting the value of $conds['rc_namespace'], add:
global $wgContentNamespaces;
.
.
.
if ( $this->opts->getValue( 'contentnamespaces' ) ) {
$conds['rc_namespace'] = $wgContentNamespaces;
}
In /includes/specials/SpecialNewpages.php add to the setup() function:
$opts->add( 'contentnamespaces', false );
Then add to the parseparams() function:
if ( 'contentnamespaces' == $bit ) {
$this->opts->setValue( 'contentnamespaces', true );
}
I was wondering if there's a better way to do this, though? Geneticrecombination (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

ImageMagick Convert No Longer Working
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Apparently, quite a few people may have an issue executing ImageMagick convert (6.8.9-9) on OVH environments (PHP 7.0 and 7.1).
After some debugging, I found that I had to add single quotes around the -set comment [']File Source: http ....['] without which it would not work.

Rename a file automatically fixing all pages that refer the file. No redirects

Hello,
I have a lot of arbitrary-named files on my wiki (for examples, image files from Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc). I consider renaming such files in order to give them more recognizable and human-readable names. However, I would like to avoid redirects, therefore I have to fix the references in all pages that refer those files. Is it possible to rename a file along with all references to the file?
Thanks! 92.253.250.171 (talk) 11:02, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Have just installed usermerge extension.
In special pages is listed with curly brackets in lower case ⧼usermerge⧽

- Hi there!
- Sounds like something might be wrong with the translations of these extension...
- Which version of MediaWiki are you using? An which version of e.g. the UserMerge extension are you using? Make sure that both fit together! 2001:16B8:1080:4E00:C1C4:B74C:4223:2698 (talk) 16:42, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Using1.30.0 and the most up to date extension through the extension distributor ie 1.10.1 Leeshore1966 (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Actually the exteison version has not been changed. So version 1.10.1 is the latest version for MediaWiki 1.30, but also for master. There are however differences in both versions, a number of commits after September 1st 2017 is present in the master branch, while there is none in the version for 1.30... Make sure that you used the version for 1.30 and not the one for master.
- After that, I would run rebuildmessages.php from the shell to manually clear and rebuild the message cache. This should not be necessary, but maybe it helps in your case... 2001:16B8:1080:4E00:85A0:B72F:EC1:E270 (talk) 18:49, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

How to hide "Parser profiling data:"
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Some versions ago MediaWiki started printing this "Parser profiling data:" box at the bottom of the edit box every time the preview button is clicked.
The biggest problem with that is that it starts expanded, then gets filled in, and then collapses. That takes a second or two, exactly enough to confuse my scrolling and looking at results.
I have my editor set to preview under the edit box, which I guess makes this particularly bad for me. But I can't belive that I'm the only one suffering because of it.
Is there no way to turn that feature off? I've been googling this for a year and haven't found a way.
Thanks in advance. Mig21 (talk) 02:09, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- You can expand it so it stays expanded, or if scrolling past it is too much work, then just hide it in your common.css.

Comma Instead of Period in SRCSET Breaks IMG Tag
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi,
The main image link on the file page in my setup has a "1,5x," in the srcset attribute of the img tag. It should be "1.5x," instead. Because of this, none of my files are showing correctly in the "File:..." pages nor as thumbs in the Wiki pages. The thumb does work correctly in the "File:" page as do links to other image resolutions.
The following test page describes the problem:
http://en.wiki.mann.fr/testimg.html
In the example, the image on
http://en.wiki.mann.fr/index.php?title=File:MANN2098.jpg
has the following dysfunctional img tag
<img alt="File:MANN2098.jpg" src="/images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/400px-MANN2098.jpg" width="400" height="600" srcset="/images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/600px-MANN2098.jpg 1,5x, /images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/800px-MANN2098.jpg 2x">
Whereas if I change "1,5x," to "1.5x,", it works perfectly well, as is to be expected.
<img alt="File:MANN2098.jpg" src="/images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/400px-MANN2098.jpg" width="400" height="600" srcset="/images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/600px-MANN2098.jpg 1.5x, /images/thumb/3/37/MANN2098.jpg/800px-MANN2098.jpg 2x">
It seems like a bug to me.
In France, where I am physically, but not the language neither of the Wiki nor of the server, the decimal point is a comma. I do not think that pertains to my current problem.
Many thanks,

Skinning: How do I overwrite @colorProgressive, @colorProgressiveHighlight and @colorProgressiveActive?
Hi guys!
I am creating a new skin based on Vector and as part of that, I would like to set my own colors for @colorProgressive, @colorProgressiveHighlight and @colorProgressiveActive so that these colors are then used at different places automatically.
However, when I add these variables to the central variables.less file of my skin, they are not taken into account. They are just not used. What do I have to do differently in order for MediaWiki to use my definition?
Cheers!

Installing Visual Editor or any wysiwyg on shared hosting
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I need to install some sort of visual editor or other text editor so people using mediawiki don't have to know all of the syntax to contribute, but the support of the hosting company said it's "shared hosting" which does not allow it because of something about installing on a server that I can't do.
Is there a wysiwyg that I can get for mediawiki, or barring that, another program that could substitute for mediawiki? 1stplebian (talk) 16:21, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- See VisualEditor/Installation on a shared host. However, this method makes use of Heroku application hosting service, whose free account has some limitations. such as limited hours of use within a month and application sleeping, which in the present context means that if no one on your site uses VisualEditor for several hours then the next user who uses it will receive errors and have to reload a few times to get VisualEditor to finally work.
- OR, you can try setting up Extension:VisualEditor (BlueSpice).
- OR, you can go for a Virtual Private Server hosting plan. Some of them are almost as low cost as shared hosting plans, but they don't come with cPanel, pre-configured backups and other helpful scripts etc. pre-installed. AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 18:02, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

importing pictures after server moving fails
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi,
I reinstalled a server. I made a sql-backup and a htdocs copy from the windows machine and moved the data to linux. Everything worked except the importing of the pictures. I tried following:
sudo php /var/lib/mediawiki/maintenance/importImages.php ./
Import Images
FrauenI-2016.JPG exists, skipping
Found: 1
Skipped: 1
My mediawiki-page says that the file is missing, but the script says it skips it.
So could it be a sql-reference problem? How can I fix it? Bevor using the skript i manually copied the "images"-folder because I thought it could work. And now I can't upload the files manually again because mediawiki recognize it as copy. 84.39.79.20 (talk) 18:15, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- If you take a backup of the database and then restore it, you don't need to run importImages.php, that's used to import NEW images!
- You shoud just put the images on the same directory structure MediaWiki expect them to be. By default on the "images" folder under the MediaWiki installation (it can be configured on Manual:$wgUploadDirectory. You should also set correct owner and permissions to those images.

- Looks like that extension is no longer compatible with the current supported MediaWiki versions, sinde wfMsg() function was removed in MediaWiki 1.27.
- You should find another extension. I'll mark it as unsupported. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:08, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Moving pages does not work
Dear All,
It seems that a certain user of our wiki can move pages in his user space but not in the main space. As to my information he is in group users and users have the move permission in our wiki.
What can be the reason?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Have a nice new year!
yours, Ciciban (talk) 09:05, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- This is difficult to say without providing the exact error message the user gets that prevents him/her to rename the page (which is usually self-explanatory) Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:10, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- He simply doesn't get the option. The button is missing in main space (without explanation :).
- Yours, Ciciban (talk) 10:21, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe the page he's trying to move is protected? Does the wiki have an extension providing more fine-grained access control like Extension:Lockdown or similar that could prevent that? Is this happening only to that particular user or does it affect sysop as well? What happens if the user access Special:MovePage/Main_page (try changing
Main_pagewith a real page) on your wiki? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC) - Thank you for your answer.
- According to
- https://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=Special:Version
- Lockdown is not installed.
- Yours, Ciciban (talk) 12:07, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the link. I don't see anything strange in the setup.
- Well, tell the user to use the Special:MovePage link and see if that lets the user complete the page move or gives an error. If it works, it may be that there may be a problem with the site's JavaScript, since the move link is usually behind a drop-down menu that may fail to work if there's a script error somewhere. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

- As mentioned in Project:Support desk/Flow/2018/01#h-Topic:U4osfk9p3zzhwi3x-2018-01-24T14:40:00.000Z, The user replied to me that on Movepages for the main space (where he misses the move button) he receives a notice that he is not permitted to use that page. :(
What is the next thing to check?
Thank you in advance.

Wiki redirects to ad sites
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello, I have 2 wikis, one using 1.28 and the other using 1.30, both however redirects myself and my members to ad sites every now and then. It's strange because it never happens on any other page on my domain, only my mediawiki.
I enable the <html> tag, but I am the only person with edit permission so no one else can add anything but myself, however, I'm not sure how it would work. It's not a spyware on my computer either because I am experiencing it even on my virtual machine. Does anyone know what might be amiss? Miatoromatic (talk) 10:51, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- If this happens very frequently, you can open the developer console of your browser (hit F12) to capture all traffic (check the "persist logs" so it doesn't clean up when you navigate away to other pages), and maybe you'll be able to see what causes the redirect, if it's a server thing (you get an URL and it sends you a 301 or 302 response code redirecting you to the ad site), or a JavaScript thing (this may get sneaky to check, however).
- Assuming you're on a paid server that doesn't inject ads automatically to your site unlike free hostings do, you should probably check that your server hasn't been hacked and some PHP files could have been edited to inject that redirect. An option may be to unpack the same MediaWiki version on another folder and run a diff tool to see what files differ (you may need to do that also for extensions).

- Hi!
- The relevant lines are
- > SELECT page_id,page_namespace,page_title FROM `page`,`searchindex` WHERE (page_id=si_page) AND ( MATCH(si_title) AGAINST('+help ' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ) AND page_namespace = '0' LIMIT 20
- > Error: 1191 Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list
- In your database, in table searchindex, do you have a FULLTEXT index there? An easy way to check this would be to run the following SQL query:
SHOW CREATE TABLE searchindex;- and to post the output here again! 2001:16B8:1003:3F00:590C:3121:A24B:8D46 (talk) 09:13, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Think I did it correct as I am new to SQL but the SQL query showed:
- shareddb-g.hosting.stackcp.net/web1-a-med/searchindex/ https://db.ltcp.com/tbl_sql.php?db=web1-a-med&table=searchindex
- Current selection does not contain a unique column. Grid edit, checkbox, Edit, Copy and Delete features are not available.
- Your SQL query has been executed successfully.
- SHOW CREATE TABLE searchindex
- searchindex CREATE TABLE `searchindex` (
- `si_page` int(10) u... Leeshore1966 (talk) 09:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- ...and what you have not posted would have been the interesting part. ;-)
- What I wanted to see is the part starting with CREATE TABLE `searchindex`... and ending with the end of the output.
- The complete table definition should look like this here (without the comments):
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/REL1_30/maintenance/tables.sql#L1361
- (These SQL queries are unchanged sine MediaWiki 1.22 at least.) My guess is that you are missing one or both of the FULLTEXT indeces. If your table is missing parts of these queries, you should add them! 2001:16B8:1003:3F00:590C:3121:A24B:8D46 (talk) 10:31, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry you mean this:
- shareddb-g.hosting.stackcp.net/web1-a-med/searchindex/ https://db.mydefaultcp.com/tbl_sql.php?db=web1-a-med&table=searchindex
- Current selection does not contain a unique column. Grid edit, checkbox, Edit, Copy and Delete features are not available.
- Your SQL query has been executed successfully.
- SHOW CREATE TABLE searchindex
- searchindex CREATE TABLE `searchindex` (
- `si_page` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
- `si_title` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
- `si_text` mediumtext NOT NULL,
- UNIQUE KEY `si_page` (`si_page`)
- ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
- How do you add the missing parts to the queries? Leeshore1966 (talk) 10:44, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Exactly.
- There are two things to do:
- First, the searchindex table cannot use the InnoDB table engine. Instead, it has to use the MyISAM table engine. You can fix this with this query:
ALTER TABLE `searchindex` ENGINE=MyISAM;- After that you can fix the indeces:
- First remove the existing si_page index and then add the missing indeces including the two FULLTEXT indeces:
ALTER TABLE `searchindex` DROP INDEX `si_page`;CREATE UNIQUE INDEX si_page ON searchindex (si_page);CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX si_title ON searchindex (si_title);CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX si_text ON searchindex (si_text);2001:16B8:1003:3F00:4504:F98C:580:2C39 (talk) 10:56, 31 December 2017 (UTC)- Worked a treat!

I already checked the inbox, spam folders, trash and anything else on my email and it wasn't there.

Help needed for MW cache settings under multipe servers condition.
Hi,
I am getting very confused about what cache need to be shared among servers, and what cache does not need to be shared.
Based on what I read from mediawiki.org.
$wgSessionCacheType = 'redis-session'; & $wgParserCacheType = 'redis'; must be shared for continuous login experience, and lower database load by cache parsed page text.
Then how about $wgLanguageConverterCacheType ? Is it cache about page contents converted. Or cache of convention list?
$wgMessageCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL; seems to be all the system message which does not change much. So I set it local memory cache. Is this correct?
A strange thing is, when $wgCacheDirectory were set. There is always some cdb file like l10n_cache-en.cdb appeared in the folder. Does these cdb file contain system message cache? Is it preferred to use file cache over memory cache? Or they are different cache?
By setting all other cacheType location to other place, there are still some items been cached to where $wgMainCacheType pointed to. For all the rest cache follow $wgMainCacheType. Is it better to share them or better to use fast local memory cache?
Finally, for $wgMainStash. What exactly does $wgMainStash do? It seems that $wgMainStash make a local copy of shared cache. Is that correct? Deletedaccount4567435 (talk) 23:33, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
